Everyone has a dream for a better life. For millions, that dream is no more complex than surviving until tomorrow—dodging bullets and bombs while foraging for food and shelter.
 Those of us who live in less volatile environments can pursue larger dreams, but many choose not to do so. Instead, we spend our days focused on the negative. And when we only see the negative, that’s all we know and experience. Pat Carr, author of All Dreams Matter, offers a better way. Combining scripture and science, the motivational speaker reveals a simple but powerful truth: we create our own destiny. Those who choose to change their minds—to actively focus on their dreams—inevitably change their lives.
Free yourself from the delusion that only the smartest, the most talented, and the luckiest among us attain success. Instead, embrace the truth: the choices we make create our destinies.
We’ve been blessed with the God-given capacity to dream the life we want, to refine our thoughts and renew our minds, and therefore change our fates. Carr offers access to this powerful gift. Use it—and change your world.

For decades, a riot that killed three hundred people and wounded hundreds of others was scarcely heard of. But several new studies have focused attention on Tulsa's Greenwood race riot of 1921. In If We Must Die novelist Pat Carr turns that tragedy into a riveting novel. When Berneen O'Brien's mother dies, the seventeen-year-old moves from Wyoming to Tulsa to live with her stern uncle. Berneen secures a teaching position at Liberty Elementary School. When she meets the principal, Nelson Flowers, she is amazed to find that he is a black man. Slowly, as she meets the other teachers, Berneen realizes that she is teaching in a black school. Her worries about being an outcast soon disappear, as the other teachers make her welcome. Berneen, who is of Black-Irish descent, doesn't realize that the teachers and students all assume she is also black. At school and after hours Berneen finds herself moving in the world of the segregated Greenwood neighborhood. And she finds herself increasingly drawn to Nelson Flowers. Racial tension erupts into violence when a young white girl accuses a black shoeshine boy of raping her in an office-building elevator. Whites burn Greenwood and storm the neighborhood, shooting and beating black men, women, and children. Berneen is trapped in the school with Nelson Flowers and the teachers when the mob approaches. The story of their desperate attempt to escape is realistic and frightening, made more so by its historical accuracy. This novel is both insightful and a real page-turner.

Pat Carr may be the only person in the United States who spent her childhood next door to a Japanese relocation camp in Wyoming in the 1940s, grew up to pass for black in 1950s Texas, started teaching college in the Jim Crow South of the 1960s, and crossed paths with scores of other authors over half a century’s journey as a professional writer. But universal truth is found in every writer’s singular experience, and Carr’s memoir illuminates the path for others who have chosen the writing life. “Everything we do, everywhere we’ve been, influences us,” Carr believes. Pacing her revealing memoir as a series of single-page episodes, she offers distilled glimpses of the people, places, and moments that made a lasting impression and provided the fabric and fuel of her writing. At the same time Carr’s pages reveal her attempts to find the authentic centers of her life: relationships with family, friends, lovers, fellow writers; struggles with racial and gender discrimination; and above all her writing identity.

"Years ago, Pat Carr became attracted to the myths of the Mimbres peoples, so much so that she wrote Mimbres Pottery, a highly respected scholarly text. But Pat is a writer of fiction--soon she was working with the ancient tales anew, re-creating them in her own fictional language centered in the experience of women.

Five American women come together briefly in 1962 in Cali, Colombia, beneath the hill that dominates the city.      * Nora, the archeologist, who doesn't relate to other women.      * Alicia, who knows she's beautiful and can attract any man.      * Melanie, who doesn't recognize her own beauty and intelligence.      * Seraphia, whose French husband is barred from the United States.      * Charlotte, who is on her third affair.  Their interwoven stories of birth, death, love, and loss bring each to an awareness and resolution that one critic has called "as satisfying as if I just had a full meal."  Reviews:  "Carr uses a strobe light to capture woman in her infinite variety." —Chicago Tribune  "Her stories are simple, crafted, entertaining, and immediate." —Los Angeles Times  "There is real talent at work here." —The New Republic  "Carr's insights are often breathtaking, poetric in nature but also strongly based in real life." —The Monitor  "Carr has a rare gift for preserving moments of fear, of love, of compassion that stay with the reader long afterward." —The El Paso Times

Voices From My Retreat

Dramatically compelling and historically informed, The Death of a Confederate Colonel takes us into the lives of those left behind during the Civil War. These stories, all with Arkansas settings, are filled with the trauma of the time. They tell of a Confederate woman’s care of and growing affection for a wounded Union soldier, a plantation mistress’s singular love for a sick slave child, and an eight-year-old girl’s fight for survival against frigid cold, injury, starvation, heartbreak, and lawlessness. Here are women holding down the home front with heroism and loyalty, or, sometimes, with weakness and duplicity. Will a young belle remain loyal to her wounded fiance? How long can a caring nurse hold her finger on a severed artery? And how does anyone comprehend the legacy of slavery and the brutality of war? The Death of a Confederate Colonel triumphs in its portrayal of desperate circumstances coated in the patina of the Civil War era, the complexity of ordinary people confronting situations that change them forever.
